It means that DirectFB and Apps running on top of it (like GTK, > Firefox etc..) will be HW accelerated on ST Board out-of-box..?? That depends on the GTK DirectFB backend implementation. There are some limitations in ST hardware which a naively written PC biased DirectFB application will hit, resulting in limited or no acceleration. You might want to review the document attached to the following bugzilla entry: https://bugzilla.stlinux.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1152 This is specific to the open source implementation, but the hardware restrictions apply to the the STAPI version as well. Note that the open source driver is being aggressively worked on at the moment, so is in a number of areas ahead of the STAPI version in its functionality; do not assume everything described in this document (primary layer config extensions, the screen/mixer/encoder interface, the extra surface formats) are necessarily available in the current STAPI offering. -stephen This message (including any attachment) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
